Trump says he reached Greenland deal ‘framework’ with NATO, backs off Europe tariffs
Trump and NATO agreed on a long-term Arctic security framework including missile defense and paused planned tariffs on eight European countries, easing transatlantic trade tensions.
- President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that he and Mark Rutte, secretary general of NATO, agreed on "the framework of a future deal" on Greenland and will halt Feb. 1 tariffs.
- Earlier, Trump had threatened military action and tariffs over Greenland, backing off force at Davos while threatening a 10% levy starting Feb. 1 on Denmark and eight other countries.
- Trump said he named Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to lead negotiations, with discussions on a `Golden Dome` continuing.
- Markets jumped after the announcement, with the S&P 500 rallying 1.5% on January 21, 2026, after Trump said the deal would benefit the U.S. and allies while the Dow gained 760 points.
- Trump made no mention of Danish consultation while Copenhagen expressed readiness to talk, and any deal would need U.S. Senate approval as Trump promised more details during ongoing negotiations.
